The present disclosure provides in some embodiments an array substrate which, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, includes: a base substrate 100; a plurality of gate lines 1, a plurality of data lines 2 and a plurality of common electrode lines 3 arranged on the base substrate 100; a pixel electrode 4 arranged at each region defined by two adjacent gate lines 1 and two adjacent data lines 2; and a TFT (including a gate electrode 5, a source electrode 6 and a drain electrode 7 as shown in the figures) arranged at a position in proximity to a junction between each of the gate lines 1 and the corresponding data line 2. The drain electrode 7 of the TFT is electrically connected to the pixel electrode 4 through a via-hole 8 (as shown in these figures, the drain electrode 7 of the TFT is electrically connected to a connection portion 41 of the pixel electrode 4 through the via-hole 8). Each of the common electrode lines 3 includes a primary electrode line 31 extending in a direction identical to an extension direction of the gate line 1, and a secondary electrode line connected vertically to the primary electrode line 31. The secondary electrode line includes at least one first secondary electrode line 32 (indicated by the dotted circle in the figures) arranged between the via-hole 8 and the data line 2. The via-hole 8 is arranged between the primary electrode line 31 and the gate line 1.

It should be appreciated that, as the first secondary electrode line 32 is located between the via-hole 8 and the data line 2, and the via-hole 8 is located between the primary electrode line 31 and the gate line 1, the first secondary electrode line 32 is arranged at a side of the primary electrode line 31, i.e., at the side of the primary electrode line 31 adjacent to the TFT (a lower side as shown in the figures). In addition, the number of the first secondary electrode lines 32 is not limited to one as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, or two as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. Actually, the number of the first secondary electrode lines may be set in accordance with the practical need, which is not particularly defined herein.

According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the array substrate includes: the base substrate; the plurality of gate lines, the plurality of data lines and the plurality of common electrode lines arranged on the base substrate; the pixel electrode arranged at each region defined by two adjacent gate lines and two adjacent data lines; and the TFT arranged at the position in proximity to the junction between each of the gate lines and the corresponding data line. The drain electrode of the TFT is electrically connected to the pixel electrode through the via-hole. Each common electrode line includes the primary electrode line extending in the direction identical to the extension direction of the gate line, and the secondary electrode line connected vertically to the primary electrode line. The secondary electrode line includes at least one first secondary electrode line arranged between the via-hole and the data line. The via-hole is arranged between the primary electrode line and the gate line. Through the first secondary electrode line arranged between the via-hole and the data line in the array substrate, it is able to prevent a voltage across the connection portion of the pixel electrode from being adversely affected by the signal from the data line, thereby to improve the display quality.

During the implementation, in order to prevent the voltage across the connection portion of the pixel electrode from being adversely affected by the signal from the data line, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first secondary electrode line 32 may be arranged between the via-hole 8 and the data line 2 nearest to one side of the via-hole 8 (i.e., the left side of the via-hole 8 as shown in these figures), and/or as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first secondary electrode line 32 is arranged between the via-hole 8 and a data line 2 which is at another side of the via-hole 8 (i.e., the right side of the via-hole 8 as shown in these figures) and opposite to the data line nearest to the one side of the via-hole 8.

For both of the above two arrangement modes of the first secondary electrode line, it is able to prevent the voltage across the connection portion of the pixel electrode form being adversely affected by the signal from the data line or any other signals.

During the implementation, in order to facilitate the arrangement of lines and simplify the manufacture process, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first secondary electrode line 32 may extend in a direction identical to an extension direction of the data line 2 (e.g., the first secondary electrode line 32 may extend downward along the data line 2 as shown in these figures).

Furthermore, during the implementation, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first secondary electrode line 32 may have a length greater than a distance between a center of the via-hole 8 and the primary electrode line 31, so as to prevent the voltage across the connection portion of the pixel electrode from being adversely affected by the signal from the data line in a better manner.

During the implementation, for the arrangement of the first secondary electrode line, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in the case that there are two first secondary electrode lines 32, the two first secondary electrode lines 32 may be arranged at two sides of the via-hole 8 respectively, i.e., at a left side and a right side of the via-hole 8 respectively. A distance between one of the first secondary electrode lines 32 and the center of the via-hole 8 may be equal to a distance between the other one of the first secondary electrode lines 32 and the center of the via-hole 8.

During the implementation, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first secondary electrode line may further include at least one second secondary electrode line 33 arranged at an edge region of the pixel electrode 4. Due to the arrangement of the second secondary electrode line 33, a storage capacitor may be formed between the second secondary electrode line 33 and the pixel electrode 4, so as to increase a storage capacitance of a pixel of a liquid crystal device.

It should be appreciated that, two second secondary electrode lines are shown in each of FIGS. 3 and 4. One of the two second secondary electrode lines 33 is arranged at a left end of the pixel electrode 4, and the other is arranged at a right end of the pixel electrode 4. An orthogonal projection of each of the two second secondary electrode lines 33 onto the base substrate may partially overlap an orthogonal projection of the pixel electrode 4 onto the base substrate. In addition, the second secondary electrode line 33 may be arranged at the other side of the primary electrode line 31, i.e., at a side of the primary electrode line 31 away from the TFT (an upper side as shown in these figures). The second secondary electrode line 33 and the first secondary electrode line 32 may be arranged at two sides of the primary electrode line 31 respectively.

During the implementation, because the second secondary electrode line 33 and the first secondary electrode line 32 are arranged at two sides of the primary electrode line 31 respectively, the second secondary electrode line 33 and the first secondary electrode line 32 may be arranged parallel to each other or in an identical straight line. In other words, the second secondary electrode line 33 may also extend in a direction identical to the extension direction of the data line 2 (e.g., the second secondary electrode line 33 may extend upward along the data line 2 as shown in the figures). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the second secondary electrode line 33 on the left may be located in a straight line identical to the first secondary electrode line 32 on the right.

During the implementation, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the primary electrode line 31 may be formed integrally with the secondary electrode line, i.e., the primary electrode line 31 may be formed integrally with the first secondary electrode line 32, or the primary electrode line 31 may be formed integrally with the second secondary electrode line 33. In this way, it is able to form a pattern of the primary electrode line and the secondary electrode line through a single patterning process, thereby to simplify the manufacture process and reduce the manufacture cost.

During the implementation, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, usually the array substrate may further include any other layers, e.g., a gate insulation layer 9, an active layer 10 and a passivation layer 11, and the via-hole 8 may be formed in the passivation layer 11. These layers may be implemented in various ways, which will not be particularly defined herein.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the common electrode line 3 may also be a storage electrode line.

The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a method for manufacturing the array substrate which, as shown in FIG. 7, includes the following steps.

Step S701: forming a pattern of the gate lines, gate electrodes and the common electrode lines on the base substrate through a single patterning process, wherein each of the common electrode lines comprises the primary electrode line extending in the direction identical to the extension direction of the gate line, and the secondary electrode line connected vertically to the primary electrode line.

During the implementation, a first metal layer may be deposited onto the base substrate through sputtering, and a photoresist may be applied onto the first metal layer. Next, the photoresist may be exposed and developed, and the first metal layer may be etched so as to form the pattern of the gate lines, the gate electrodes and the common electrode lines. Each of the common electrode lines comprises the primary electrode line extending in the direction identical to the extension direction of the gate line and the secondary electrode line connected vertically to the primary electrode line. The secondary electrode line may include a pattern of a first secondary electrode line and/or a second secondary electrode line. The first metal layer may be made of a material such as Cu, Al, Mo, Ti, Cr or W, or an alloy thereof. The gate line may be of a single-layered structure, or a multi-layered structure such as Mo/Al/Mo, Ti/Cu/Ti or Mo/Ti/Cu.

Step S702: forming a gate insulation layer on the base substrate on which the pattern of the gate lines, the gate electrodes and the common electrode lines have been formed.

During the implementation, the gate insulation layer may be deposited through Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) onto the base substrate on which the pattern of the gate lines, the gate electrodes and the common electrode lines have been formed. The gate insulation layer may be made of a material such as silicon nitride (SiN) or silicon oxide (SiOx), and it may be of a single-layered structure, or a multi-layered structure such as SiN/SiOx.

Step S703: forming a pattern of an active layer on the gate insulation layer.

During the implementation, a semiconductor layer may be deposited onto the gate insulation layer. The semiconductor layer may be made of amorphous silicon (a-Si), poly silicon (p-Si), or an oxide semiconductor. To be specific, an a-Si layer and an n+ a-Si layer may be deposited through PECVD, or an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) layer may be deposited through sputtering, and then a photoresist may be applied onto the above layer. Next, the photoresist may be exposed and developed, and then above layer may be etched so as to form the pattern of the active layer.

Step S704: forming a pattern of the data lines, source electrodes and the drain electrodes on the base substrate on which the pattern of the active layer has been formed.

During the implementation, a second metal layer may be deposited through sputtering onto the base substrate on which the pattern of the active layer has been formed, and a photoresist may be applied onto the second metal layer. Next, the photoresist may be exposed and developed, and the second metal layer may be etched, so as to form the pattern of the data lines, the source electrodes and the drain electrodes. The second metal layer may be made of a material such as Cu, Al, Mo, Ti, Cr or W, or an alloy thereof.

Step S705: forming a pattern of a passivation layer and the via-holes on the base substrate on which the pattern of the data lines, the source electrodes and the drain electrodes have been formed.

During the implementation, the passivation layer, e.g., a SiN layer, may be deposited through PECVD onto the base substrate on which the pattern of the data lines, the source electrodes and the drain electrodes have been formed, and then a photoresist may be applied onto the passivation layer. Next, the photoresist may be exposed and developed, and the passivation layer may be etched so as to form the pattern of the via-holes and thereby expose the drain electrodes. The passivation layer may be made of an inorganic material, e.g., SiN.

Step S706: forming a pattern of the pixel electrodes on the passivation layer and the via-holes.

During the implementation, a conductive material layer made of a transparent metal oxide may be deposited onto the passivation layer and the via-holes through sputtering, and then a photoresist may be applied onto the conductive material layer. Next, the photoresist may be exposed and developed, and the conductive material layer may be etched so as to form the pattern of the pixel electrodes. The pixel electrodes may be made of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO) or any other conductive material of transparent metal oxide.

The array substrate may be manufactured through the above-mentioned Steps S701 to S706.
